Col. Edward Gerhard did not seem to be
ut all appeased yesterday by the fact that he
had secured the arrest OF the Secretary Of the
New York Club on q charge Of blackmail. Like
tiger that has tasted blood. his appetite was
reused. and he declared that more arrests must
be made. In fact. he said that every man OF
tho directors who signed the order for him to
show cause why he should not be expelled
would have to be arrested. This action is what
the Colonel complains OF as blackmail. as prac-
tically presenting to him the alternative OF
returning part OF q fee he had charged the club
for legal services or Of being put out He said:
It was letter attempting to extort money
by a threat, and the probable result OF Mon
days examination in the case OF Secretary
Wells is indicated by the decision Of the Court
to grant a warrant. An inspection OF the
papers led to this result, and I don't imagine
that the Court will stultify itself at the ex-
animation"
Col. Gebhard said that he had received the
benefit Of advice from Mr.. Roscoe ConklinR In
his controversy with the club. though Mr..
Conking did not care to appear rs attorney In
the proceedings. Tho Colonel regards the only
issue In the case to be question Of veracity
between himself and Mr.. McGill as to whether
he agreed to return part Of the fee Of $1,000 to
the club. He received yesterday notification
to appear before the directors OF the club on
Monday evening and make answer to the
charges against him In relation to the audit Of
his bill, and touching his withdrawal Of q let
